No. A factory reset via iTunes or an OTA update will instantly re-enable the Activation Lock. Write down the bypass method you used.
If the iPad 2 is legitimately yours (or you have the receipt), the safest and most permanent method is to contact Apple Support. Even though the device is old, Apple can remove the Activation Lock if you provide proof of ownership. This ensures the device works perfectly with all features (iCloud, App Store, etc.) afterwards. iremove tools 128 ipad 2 link
